Clerk.Reservoir Site QuestionLive One In Hon tana.ConunlMloncr Rules That No OneWin Be Allowed to Fence Then.The commissioner of the generalland office has recently stated thatthose having irrigation reservoir siteswill not be permitted to fence thesame; that this would be in violationof the law.The question has been raisedwhether in the event of the partyholding the reservoir site, if valuableworks, such as high dykes, levees orexposed places, where the trampling jof stock would result in .injury to such.j works, a party holding such reservoir jsite would be permitted to fence thesame for thetr protection. As far aslearned yet, this point has not beendecided. jThis is an important matter to manyMontanians. A large number of reservoirs have been filed upon under theact of March 3, 1891, and many ho.d \that in securing such reseryoir sites. |they are entitled to fence the same to.the exclusion of others. Some holdthat those possessing such reservoirsites do so to the exclusion of any entry man, that any crop which may growupon such land covered by such reservoir site belongs to the party holdingthe reservoir site. Evidently this is amistaken idea, and the statement ofthe commissioner confirms the beliefin that any entryman who locateslands subject to such reservoir or canal right of way is entitled to any andall crops which land so entered willproduce, regardless of whether it isthe site of a reservoir or a canal; thatentrymen in making such entry doesso subject to such right of way, andshould the land-be damaged by reasonof the water being held in such reservoir or canal, he has no redress.GO TO RAVALLI ABSTRACTCo. if you want bargains in ranchproperty with title guaranteed; cityproperty; lowest possible rates on ininsurance; houses to rent; money toloan; property ot all kinds listed tosell.
